Signal Processing, Perceptual Coding and Watermarking of Digital Audio: Advanced Technologies and Models focuses on watermarking, in which data is marked with hidden ownership information, as a promising solution to copyright protection issues. Compared to embedding watermarks into still images, hiding data in audio is much more challenging due to the extreme sensitivity of the human auditory system to changes in the audio signal. This book focuses on understanding human perception processes and including them in effective psychoacoustic models, as well as synchronization, which is an...

"MP3: The Meaning of a Format" recounts the hundred-year history of the world's most common format for recorded audio. Understanding the historical meaning of the MP3 format entails rethinking the place of digital technologies in the larger universe of twentieth-century communication history, from hearing research conducted by the telephone industry in the 1910s, through the mid-century development of perceptual coding (the technology underlying the MP3), to the format's promiscuous social life since the mid 1990s.

MP3s are products of compression, a process that removes sounds unlikely to...
